Ensure that a nursing home area is free from accident hazards and provides adequate supervision to
prevent accidents.
**NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY** Based on
interview and record review, the facility failed to provide 1:1 supervision for a resident (R2) during
mealtimes after R2 experienced a choking episode. This failure resulted in R2 experiencing a second
choking episode with cyanosis, low oxygen levels, and hospitalization. R2 expired in the local hospital on
[DATE] from complications of aspiration pneumonia and choking on food. This applies to 1 of 3 residents
reviewed for safety and supervision in the sample of 8.
This failure resulted in an Immediate Jeopardy.
The Immediate Jeopardy began on 9/19/24 when R2 experienced a choking episode and R2's nurse
practitioner ordered for R2 to have 1:1 supervision until he was evaluated by speech therapy. V1
(Administrator) was notified of the Immediate Jeopardy on 10/16/24 at 1:30PM.
While the immediacy was removed on 10/17/24, noncompliance remains at a Level Two due to additional
time needed to evaluate the implementation and effectiveness of the in-service training.
The findings include:
R2's electronic face sheet printed on 10/16/24 showed R2 has diagnoses including but not limited to
Parkinson's disease, dementia without behaviors, dysphagia, congestive heart failure, and muscle
weakness.
R2's facility assessment dated [DATE] showed R2 has moderate cognitive impairment.
R2's nursing care plan dated 7/25/24 showed, (R2) requires nutritional support .feed slowly. Give resident
time to chew and swallow, meal monitoring and recording as indicated.
R2's speech therapy Discharge summary dated [DATE] showed, Supervision for oral intake= distant
supervision (resident able to feed self, supervision in dining room).
R2's nursing progress notes dated 9/19/24 showed, Resident was choking at dinnertime, and he was able
to remove all the food. (V7-Nurse Practitioner) here and saw resident at the time after he was done with
episode of choking. (V7) referred resident to re-evaluate for swallow study.
R2's nurse practitioner visit note dated 9/19/24 showed, Dysphagia-discussed with nursing to repeat
speech evaluation, continue 1:1 feeding. Slow feeding.

On 10/16/24 at 3:08PM, V6 (Speech Therapist) stated, When a resident has a supervision level of distant
supervision that means the resident needs to eat in the dining room with staff present. (R2) was still a risk
for choking as he has a diagnosis of dysphagia and just recently had his diet upgraded from a mechanical
soft diet to a regular diet.
On 10/16/24 at 11:53AM, V15 (Certified Nursing Assistant) stated, I was working the day (R2) had his first
choking incident. A resident yelled he's choking! so I ran into the dining room and began patting (R2's) back
and at first, he wasn't breathing. I kind of froze and didn't know what else to do other than pat his back so I
yelled for the nurse. One of the nurse's looked into the dining room and stated, 'That's not my resident, I'll
go get his nurse.' I couldn't believe she just left me there alone in the dining room with a resident that was
choking. There was nobody else in the dining room and I was the only one that responded. I was shocked
nobody was in there supervising any of the residents. By the time (R2's) nurse came to the dining room, he
had already coughed up what he was choking on and then the nurse took over.
On 10/15/24 at 2:09PM, V7 (Nurse Practitioner) stated, I saw (R2) after his initial choking incident. I
recommended for a speech evaluation and ordered 1:1 feeding at a slow rate. 1:1 feeding means staff are
sitting with the resident and providing constant, close supervision and cues for safe swallowing. (R2) has a
history of swallowing difficulties and had dysphagia so he is at a higher risk for choking. If staff were not
supervising (R2), it put him at increased risk for choking which led to his pulmonary complications.
On 10/16/24 at 9:51AM, V14 (Licensed Practical Nurse-LPN) stated, On 9/19/24 one of the aides notified
me that (R2) was coughing while he was eating and looked like he was choking. I had (V7) assess him and
she wanted me to have staff sit with (R2) while he ate but I didn't realize nobody knew that. I told (V8 - LPN)
about (R2) coughing, but I did not report any of (V7's) orders to him so he would have no way of knowing
what (R2) needed. There is always 1 person in the dining room, but we can't spare a staff member to
provide 1:1 assistance for feeding, we don't have the staff for that during mealtimes because it's a busy
time of day. Looking back, I should have called the kitchen right away and notified them to downgrade
(R2's) diet to mechanical soft and I should have entered the orders and notified the CNAs (Certified
Nursing Assistants) to provide 1:1 supervision. The orders should have also been entered into the medical
record so all staff were aware, but I was just busy and thought it would be okay to do it the next day.
R2's nursing progress notes dated 9/20/24 showed, Resident noted in dining room eating breakfast, nurse
on duty noted to be observing residents in the dining room. Resident noted to be coughing while eating,
nurse went to assess resident and decided to start the Heimlich maneuver. Resident noted to expectorate
chewed up food from his mouth. Oxygen was administered to resident via non-rebreather mask at 10 liters,
oxygen saturation noted at 68% with rapid breaths. 911 was called .resident transported to hospital for
further evaluation .
On 10/16/24 at 9:00AM, V8 (LPN) stated, I worked the overnight shift on 9/19/24 and was still on the unit on
9/20/24 during (R2's) choking incident. I was sitting at the nurse's station charting and (V5-LPN) was
passing medications outside of the dining room when she began yelling Help! Help! I looked in and (R2)
was blue and looked lifeless. I ran over and started the Heimlich while (V5) went and got oxygen. (R2)
looked like he was recovering so I went to call 911 and then (V5) called out for help again so I put the
phone down and ran back over and helped her get (R2) to his room. We took him to his room and then I
went to the nurse's station to call 911. His oxygen was in the 60's and he looked bad. There were no staff
members near him when we ran into the dining room so there couldn't

have been anyone providing 1:1 assistance. I didn't know there had been a choking incident the night
before or that he needed a downgraded diet or 1:1 supervision. This is the first I'm hearing about this as it
was never provided to me in nursing report. That is a significant event that should have been reported to me
so that I could monitor him closely and make sure the correct interventions were implemented. From what I
remember, (R2) had regular food on his plate and had been choking on sausage that was not ground up.
On 10/15/24 at 11:07AM, V5 (LPN) stated, If a physician or nurse practitioner orders a resident to have 1:1
supervision, then that means staff are to be sitting next to the resident during mealtimes supervising them.
If staff are not sitting with the resident and providing them cues or assistance, they could choke. I was
working the day that (R2) had his choking incident. I was outside of the dining room passing medications
and when I looked in, (R2) was blue. I called for help and (V8) ran in to help me and performed the
Heimlich. We got (R2) to his room as fast as we could to finish caring for him while 911 was on their way.
From what I remember, there were no staff members feeding (R2) otherwise they would have yelled for help
when he started choking.
On 10/15/24 at 1:30PM, V6 (Speech Therapist) stated, 1:1 supervision is provided to residents that are at
high risk for swallowing difficulties that could result in choking. I would consider a resident that has had a
recent choking incident at high risk for another episode. (R2) should have been provided 1:1 supervision as
ordered until we could evaluate him and clear him. I remember walking in on 9/20/24 and (R2) was being
wheeled out to the ambulance so we never even had a chance to evaluate him.
On 10/16/24 at 2:54PM, V11 (CNA) stated, (R2) was on my assignment for 9/20/24 but I did not take him to
the dining room. Night shift gets him up and takes him to the dining room, but nobody told me that he
needed 1:1 supervision at meals. That wasn't normal for him, and I wasn't aware there had been an
incident the day before with his swallowing.
R2's death certificate dated 10/1/24 showed, Cause of death: complications from aspiration pneumonia,
choking on food.
On 10/16/24 at 2:42PM, V24 (Corporate Registered Nurse) stated, We didn't know (V7) gave orders to the
nurse until you told us. It never came out in our investigation. It is absolutely unacceptable that the nurse
didn't enter the orders or tell the oncoming nurse of the changes with (R2). If a resident is supposed to have
a mechanically altered diet or receive 1:1 supervision at meals, then that is what we must provide for them.
The facility's policy titled, Physician's Orders dated 05/15 showed, 1. Verbal telephone orders may be
accepted form each resident's attending physician/Nurse Practitioner/Physician's Assistant by licensed
nurses or pharmacists. Verbal orders must always be based on actual conversations with the prescribing
practitioner or on approved written protocols .Verbal orders are documented in the resident's medical
record with the date, time, and signature of the person receiving the order.
As of 10/17/24, the facility was unable to provide a policy regarding supervision of residents at mealtimes.
